  • Take off is cool. I like the horse sounds lol. And the double barrel roll is fun. But overall, I feel like this ride could have done more.

  • I love watchng this take off lol. It's funny the way everyones face be.

  • this and sky rush will be my 2 favorite rides there

  • next time I go to hershey, IM GONIG ON IT!!!

  • im going to hershey this summer...i cant wait

  • "Keep your feet inside the train at all times" that can be one of the most obnoxious things in the world, your sitting, how can you not keep your feet in... though it will be ironic on an inverted coaster

  • that operator did not give ok haha

  • that was a fast chipmunk!

    

  • It actually goes 0-72 mph in 1.2 seconds, not 2

  • @supercool97 well, who knows...

    you can guess the height of it. Then you can guess the distance of acceleration.

    m*v²/2=m*g*h --> v=squareroot(2*g*h). So you have the speed near the beginning of the upwards part. Lets add 10 km/h for safety and the cart didn't stop entirely. So you got a speed and a distance so you can calculate the time and linear acceleration of it.

    quite easy, isn't it?

  • @alain001 the problem is that what you're talking about applies to a ride like Kingda Ka. However, storm runner doesn't just go up, slow down and go down. It goes up and pulls you down at a considerably high speed. The only way you can find out the real specs is to get them from Hershey.

  • @supercool97 what do you mean with 'goes up and pulls you down' ?

    perhaps you think its the decceleration? ;) if you stop at 0:59 I don't see any electric braking mechanism so my theory still apply (neglecting the friction losses, which probably are significant irl)

  • @alain001 what i'm trying to say is that at the top of the first hill after the launch, it doesn't slow down to 10km/h like you said in your theory. It's actually considerably fast. Your theory works for Kingda Ka because it does slow down to ~10km/h

  • @supercool97 well guess the speed at the top and you know it aswell... just Epot + Ekin = constant. SO below with 0 pot and max kin, is at the top max pot and a kin then... no biggie (i know what you mean now ;) )

  • @alain001 wow your fucking retarded, oh ok einstein, "my theory still apply" the ride doesn't slow down to 10km/h which is about half that in mp/h, an object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless there's a opposite force depressing on it, your theory is wrong and so is your observation as you can clearly see the ride doesn't lose that much speed at the first loop, stop looking up math equations that relate to speed and velocity and speed it will fall at a given height, its a ride.

  • @ajax631 someone here is getting angry about formulas he probably doesn't understand xD! so what if the velocity of the ride at the top is a little bit more (or even if it ould be over 9.000 km/hr !!) it just will change the velocity near the bottom of the ramp. (i don't see the push thing at the top, but it doesn't really matter if you take the point right in front of it)

  • @alain001 if your trying to say that the constant speed is given by the initial acceleration, and the coaster just rides that momentum out, you can see the ride accelerate right before the descent, like a push, not just terminal speed.

  • I was on this....I was TERRIFIED.

    And then I went off of it and said "THAT WAS AWESOME!"

  • love that ride if you sit in the back it will really rough you up especially if you're a small person

  • Comment removed

  • It's the suspense before the launch that makes this a 5/5 thrill rating for me.

  • dude love the storm runner awesome fuckin coaster I bought the shirt that says dude I live in the fast lane after i rode that

  • the wait is totally worth it to get on this ride.

  • @happydictatr09 definitely is

  • fuuunn ride

  • you probably read them.

  • this ride was amazing!!!!

  • I live 15 minutes from that.

  • So happy to live in PA,Hershey park is fucking amazing.

  • normally i would be terrified but i wasn't because i couldn't tell i was upside down or not!

  • rollercoaster was fun but felt like i was gonna fall out lmao

  • that's no rabbit, that's a hare. that roller coaster looks like the bees.

  • this ride it awesomne but it can be rough when it wants to be

  • this ride wuz awesome

  • aww i miss this ride.

  • hahahahahhaha look its an escaped chipmunk on the premises

  • i rode in the same seat the camera i... best 58 seconds OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm so scared to go on this. But my friend really wants to go on it.

  • That was the best roller coaster I have EVER been on!!! It scared me out of my wits!! I think I said every cuss word in the book!! LOL!! I will definitely be riding this again!!!!!!!!!! Cudos on your ability ti hold on to that camera the whole time! Great shots of the ride!! WOW!!!!!!

  • By the way this isn't Jay! It's his mother! lol!!

  • Intamin makes great coasters!

  • i like when your talking about the rabbit and the train horn goes off at 2:36

  • @SuperNumber21 what did the empolye do?

    

  • @SuperNumber21 They never told me to put it away. I thought it was within policy.

  • @krazykorican well at far as I know, at the time it wasn't. (It's not now) It was most likley just the employees not paying attention. (i wasnt there that year)

  • @SuperNumber21 thats not even his fault and what did they do say put away the camera whoopdy do

  • @SUPERMANenterprise we tell you to put it in the bag drop or your not riding

    by the way as my first comment said,

    END OF CONVERSATION

  • @SuperNumber21 what ever all im saying its not his fault... END OF CONVERSATION hehe

  • @SuperNumber21 and btw i didn't wanna start an argument even though both my reply's sounded like i was

  • @SUPERMANenterprise its fine dude, lets just drop it

  • @SuperNumber21 The employees should have told him to put it away. He had it out in the station and no one ever told him otherwise. When I was at hershey I saw at least 4 people leave the station with a camera including someone next to me on great bear who had it out while they were checking his restraint. It's their job.

  • @coasterfreak5928 it seems to me that you dont know what END OF CONVERSATION means.

    no offence but your the second or thrid person to miss that. if your reply to this dont hold your breath for me to reply

  • @SuperNumber21 So I should listen to u when u say end of conversation cause ur totally my boss.

  • @SuperNumber21 why would they get in trouble? He might have asked permission and he didn't show the employees either. So go get a life!!

  • @youmakemelaugh99 ok 5 things, 1 i have a life, 2 you must not because you spend your day reading old youtube comments, 3 did you read the whole conversation?, 4 because if he asked they would have said no, 5 apparently more people don't know what "end of conversation means". because of all these you can rant at me all you want and I will not read them or diginify them with a responce. to the owner of this video if i had known that so many people cant read then I wouldn't have posted anything.

  • you know that because you did this, the employees working runner that day got in trouble. thanks for that jerk...

  • was broke almost all day today even though it was open until close yesturday

  • this is within my top 5 rides

  • Comment removed

  • @MrChubbs10 you must have no life...your gonna make random people decide on whether you have fun or not...everyone give a thumbs down to this fag

  • at 2:23 is that Zoo America?

  • How you hold on to the camera is beyond me, I rode Comet and screamed so loud the whole park heard me, and my eyes were practically glued shut...I'm 13, so I hope thats an excuse, plus I'm terrified of heights...

  • I go here like everyday and I've been on this like a million times this summer cause I have season passes and I never get tired of this ride(and great bear :P)

  • Storm Runner > Kingda Ka

  • LOVED THIS it only lasts like 10 secs tho -.- or it feels like that at least

  • When I rode this, I didn't know something could go so fast... so fast....woah..paradox much?

  • I went on this with a friend of mine when we went on a day trip. One second my head was snapping back, I think I might have closed my eyes or something because I just felt weightless until that drop, on the way down.

  • this coaster is one of my favs

  • Uh OH

  • I went to Hershey today! I rode ALL the rollercoasters. I went on Storm Runner at night front seat. Only part I didn't like was take off .

  • when i went on that ride i was saying i am dead i am dead when we were going up the first hil thingy

    

  • I love the bit at the end with the Rabbit and the Chipmunk made me laugh :L

  • BEST RIDE EVER!!! :DDDDD

  • @KatoeIPhhoneChannel Kingda Ka is 460 feet in the air. followed by a short airtime break hill.

  • Pssh, Xcelerator at Knott's is faster and taller.

  • I went on this Monday to prepare for kingda ka. Lol this ride like stabbed my neck the whole ride idk how haha. It's not scary but the waiting before the launch is the scariest part. When I saw the drop I was like that's it? It was 150ft if I believe kingda ka is like 400 something. So this is kinda a little one lol

  • that ride is awesome! xD

  • Looks cool but a little short

  • this was my very first roller coaster and i screamed so hard my throat hurt for a week and when it launched i flew forward and hit my chin and had a bruise there for 2 months

  • its so much taller and faster when you actually ride it:)

  • All you little babies think this was scary, i went on king da ka (4x height 2x speed of storm runner) and that wasnt even scary. Is there something im missing here? Hahaha

  • How tall is the first drop?

  • @GandE13

    Like 180 ft i believe

  • its so fast even though it dosent look like it

  • THIS RIDE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!

  • is hershey park usually crowded? and do you get more G's of force sitting in the back or the front???

  • @laserboy831 It depends what time you go, when I went it was a pretty cool day and cloudy so really not a lot of people were there, the only ride I had to wait more then 10 min for was for Fahrenheit which because its new, was really busy. and honestly, you still feel the force no matter where you go, I usually go for the middle though.

  • @MoonLitCat i went to hershey 6 days ago and there were only like 1500 people there and most of them were at the water park so the lines were so short on the storm runner they only had to do 1 or 2 cycles when i rode and i rode it 5 times it was really cool

  • sorta like top thrill dragster but more like kingda ka cuz the switching track and 2 stations

  • Right when you start off yougo so much faster than it looks the drop feels like easy 5 seconds its so epic. You get off and wonder what the fuck happened doesnt even compare to ferenheight in my book

  • Is it taller and faster in person?

  • @JerseyShore117 taller faster better stronger

  • @krazykorican So I'm guessing yes?

  • @krazykorican *harder better faster stronger

  • @JerseyShore117 yes its a hell of a lot taller and faster in person. Really it looks like nothing unless your on the wide. The push is amazing, you dont get it from watching the video

  • @MoonLitCat Oh okay cool, & yeah I have been on Kingda Ka, & it's just wow

  • Dude, this ride is soo epic. In the main loop if you let your hands go you feel weight less !!!

  • You scream like a little girl! Hahah lmao

    I have to give you credit tho for holding onto the camera. :D

  • No...It looks that fast....Damn! It looks like the accel rate is faster than Kingda ka. granted it goes a shorter distance .

  • when i first got on this ride me and the boy behind me was crying i was so scared....i couldnt even walk when i got off this ride thats how bad my legss was shaking...

  • After i finished riding it my eyes were bloodshut

  • dude this was such a fun ride!! i loved it!! you really dont know how fast this thing really goes until you actually get on it.

  • LOL you film the rabbit and chipmunk. XD

    Storm runner is amazingggg. :D!!!

  • ps. my friend said when he got off this ride he said : i got jizz in my pants: funny

  • bull shit i go on the 9th of june and its going to be a fucking 5 hour long bus ride shiiiit

  • How? Just... HOW?!

  • Omg I remember the first time I rode this last year, the first few minutes when you are sitting there waiting to be launched are TOTURE! Cuz you know what is coming.... And when we went upside down, a guys pen flew out his pocket and almost hit me i the eye.... I CANT WAIT TO GO ON FRIDAY!!! :)

  • loooooove this ride

  • i gave you a thumbs up just because of the rabbit xDD

  • haha the rabbits ears BEEEEEP!

  • i love how the camera goes to black and white for a second

  • XD Escaped animals on the premis

  • I'm going to hershey today. For a field trip and I have to be at school at 5:30 and it's a 5 hour drive. Pooooo, but I'm afraid to ride this...

  • @Warriorcatsfan227 I went on a class trip yesturday ^^ and this was my first rollercoaster that I ever went on. I will admit, I screamed the loudest I have ever screamed in my whole life, but it was fun! I did it TWICE! :D!! Go on iiiiiittttttt

  • i luv how the cameras all messd up

  • i go every year with my best friend sienna :)

  • all the roller coasters there are soooo fun!

    except for the lightning vs thunder

    CAUSE THUNDER ALWAYS WINS!!!

  • Yess >:D When I went to Hershey I rode this like 5 times in a row because the lines were short.

  • @KK437 When did you go? I should plan for next time then :P

    

  • Hahahahaha I love the rabbit bit hahahahha THAT LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO FUN

  • Ahhh lov that ride so much at night is better

  • lol luv the way he says yeah right in the begging xD

  • way to keep the camera still

  • @TheEpic22 Not his fault. I was on it several hours ago; it's the fastest ride in the park and launches you from 0-72 mph in 2 seconds.

  • @slamminskygurl i know im just messin with him i could never do that

  • everytime i go there (im too afriad to go on this) my sister goes on this and theres always a group of people below just watching

  • @SuperSidewalkChalk you should try kingda ka first to get a feel for it ;)

  • I would have lost my camera at 0:45

  • how do people hold their camera up for these kind of rides?

  • id rather ride dis then the top thrill dragster

    top thril dragster scarry .____.

  • I live the ride! and i lovew how you video taped the random animals!

  • FIRST!!!

  • the coasters at our kings island in ohio are better :)

  • bull shit the grat bear is weak its amazing

  • Hey is it faster, and taller looking in person??

  • This ride was A RUSH. I had no idea where I was going...like I didn't even know if I was upside down or not?!?! Haha!!! :) I think there was a  traffic light in the beginning, because I remember just STARING at it...it was fun, very fun :)

  • wen i went on this, i waited for like hours and it rained just wen i was in the front like literally, the first in line.>.< its the best

  • WTF is up with the dam rabbit WTF

  • 2 Years ago I chickened out and said I was getting off, I am going back to Hershey park and this time I ain't backing out!

  • i went on this when i was like 10 and i pissed my pants...lol

  • my friend sat on that seat on his first time and i sat next 2 him and forgot to tell him to put his head back during the launch, and he forgot that his head would slam backwards, instead of forwards, and then got a massive headache, and a welt on the back of his head as well. silly people, your head slams backwards, not forwards.

  • "All right riders, sit upright with your head back, hold onto the grab handles at all times, and keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times...

    ..now get ready, Here we go" ;) as a ride operator i listen to those lines ALL the TIME XD

  • lmao the horn scared the Wild rabbit . :)

  • I rode this last sunday night (9/13). I was scared shitless to even get on, and I told my gf that we'd look like idiots at the end of the ride. Yeah, that happened. I was sitting on my keys and they flew out of my pocket at some point. Of course the loose change didn't go anywhere. They had to call maintenance and thank god were they able to find my keys.

    Summary: Don't take ANYTHING on this ride unless it is physically tied to you. Lesson learned :(

  • I went on that train but in the back last month (FIRST TIMER) I love when your launched and going domn the steep drop made me stand up. i didnt feel the loop, but stood up in the twist (I'm 5 foot) IT ROCKED!!!!!!

  • @toyinattic you mean the Immelman? there isnt a loop in stormrunner.

  • @LaMbChOpZssc no i mean the stormrunner! there is a loop after the first drop! 'tard

  • @toyinattic NO, there isnt. and if u wanna believe that its a loop, ur the "'tard." again, its an immelman, and if you dont believe me, google loop, then google immelman and see which one's the EXACT same as the immelman on stormrunner. besides, i hate figting with ppl who have no knowledge of roller coasters...

  • @LaMbChOpZssc Technically speaking, toyinattic is right. The true name of that element is a "Cobra Loop". However, most people do use it interchangeably with an immelmann because of how similar the two look.

  • Everytime I go on dat ride I die a little

  • I lost count at 68 times i rode this ride...

    yes i am a ride opeartor XD

  • Now get ready

    HERE WE GO

  • They have this on RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Of course, you can't get the full experience of it unless you're on this coaster in real life. But I don't have the guts to go on a coaster lol

  • this ride looks mad scary just watching mad me nervous

  • lol it looks like dat African......wut wuz dat thing?????? the jack rabbit LOL HILARIOUOS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • when i was like 6 i caught a baby rabbit at hershy park

  • Man that ride is fun

  • this is what rape feels like

  • i rode this it was awesome! XD

  • @XxSuddenlyPsychotic interesting... my favorite coaster is actually the great bear... i don't really like the storm runner that much. after the novelty of it wears off, it's not that fun cause it only lasts for such a short time. the great bear is a solid ride imo.

  • @krazykorican Oh its so fun man.

  • @krazykorican Great bear was my least favorite. The other ones rock though.

  • @XxSuddenlyPsychotic But but but....Im scared to go on that one.... :x lol

  • @XxSuddenlyPsychotic dude comet is the lamest ride their...just saying. mabye you mistaked it for wildcat or lightning racers? those are the good wooden ones. I love storm runner and enjoyed great bear

  • @XxSuddenlyPsychotic Thats intresting. I live near Hershey and I think that the coasters are great. My favorite coaster in the Wildcat. I guess I am saying this because I am a huge coaster fan.

  • @XxSuddenlyPsychotic All rollercoaster are weak besides Intimidator 305, Griffon(IMO) and King Da Ka/ Top Thrill Dragster

  • The ride itself is so short! I remember a few years ago, my brother and sister went on this. About three minutes later they came out. My dad asked "is it being shut down?" And they said "No, we rode it."

  • I work here, its amazing. BUT be sure to bring loads of cash or a good credit card! lol they rob you on food and drink prices. FYI you can go to stands and ask for a free cup of water =]
